1. Dunlop Hetfield's White Fang Custom Flow Picks
As one of the greatest riff masters of all time, James Hetfield requires gear that functions as monstrously as he does – including picks. When he approached Dunlop to select a pick that met his high standards, Dunlop worked closely with him to develop a solution that not only kept up with his performance but enhanced it.
Dunlop used the Flow Standard Pick 1.0 mm as a starting point. The thrash titan put it through a series of tests on the road and returned to Dunlop with the improvements and adjustments he needed to get it just right. Initially, Dunlop incorporated the mixed, beveled edges of the Black Fang Picks for a super-fast attack that rings with bright articulation, ensuring that every note and chord has an impact amidst all that speed and amplification. Next, Dunlop made it slightly heavier, moving to 1.14 mm – typically not available in the standard Flow pick line – for the perfect balance between mass and articulation. Finally, Dunlop enhanced the grip by creating a custom pattern to keep the pick in place while Hetfield plays.
"The White Fang Pick has an amazing grip when sweating through heavy riffing and a smaller profile for faster playing," he says. "Plus, the white is easier to see when thrown into the crowd."

5. Dunlop Tortex Flow Standard Yellow - 0.73
Picks Tortex Flow Standard 0.73mm Yellow, Player's Pack of 12
First released in 1981, Tortex® Picks were originally intended to be a high-quality replacement for tortoiseshell. Jim Dunlop’s trailblazing creation became much more than that, establishing its own identity and becoming the new standard by which all other picks are judged.
Building on the precision, consistency, and color-coded gauge system he introduced with Nylon Picks, Jim resolved to create a pick with a bright and snappy attack, superior memory and durability, and an improved grip. He chose Delrin as his base material and then spent more than a year developing a special treatment process to draw out its full potential. This treatment process is what sets Tortex Picks apart from all others, providing their unique grip-enhancing matte surface and aggressive attack. Finally, Jim expanded on his previous picks’ color-coded gauge system to create the bright and timeless palette that has become an industry standard. Because we stick to Jim’s original formula, Tortex Picks remain our bestselling pick line. And we still make them at the Dunlop HQ in Benicia, California.
With Tortex, Jim Dunlop launched a revolution, and the world of picks has never been the same. The turtle logo is instantly recognizable, and the vibrant Tortex palette has become a gauging shorthand for guitar players. Go into any music store and ask for Green or Yellow Picks—chances are, you’ll be shown a pack of Tortex 0.88mm or 0.73mm Picks. Countless musicians across the world, representing every genre and playing style, have chosen Tortex Picks to help them do what they love.
